If you could only communicate using quotes from one TV show for the rest of your life, which show would you choose and how would that change your interactions?
I'd say Simpsons, because it has probably the largest base of useful quotes.

I basically already do it with Futurama, to the great confusion of everyone around me.
Yeah, I was going to cheat and go with “the entire Star Trek franchise”
And… I pretty much already speak entirely in Star Trek quotes.
That's how you speak isn't it, through metaphor
This broke my brain when I watched again, because I constantly use star trek, wars, Simpsons, Seinfeld, and so many other references to explain how I'm feeling.
Unfortunately no one else watches them.
It's ok, we understand here. This is your safe space. If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.
I know this is hours later now but, as I am just now reading through winding down for my night, this is what I'm watching!
Arrested development! Not sure it would change my daily interactions.
I've made a huge mistake
Pulp Fiction. I can still say useful everyday phrases like "Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet."
I'm pretty sure nobody around me understands why I always say little KANGaroo so strangely.
And no, I don't often have reasons to say that, but that doesn't stop me from making my own.
South Park - not much would change since it would be only a slight increase in the number of f bombs I use.

EDIT: changing my answer to Taskmaster, if only so I can still say "all the information's on the task"
Also: stopcockstopcock stop. Cock. Stopcock
Very handy and widely applicable.
Though you’d lose the equally useful “pop pop”.
I take "Yes, Minister" together with it's follow-up "Yes, Prime Minister". It's old, yes, and British, but I've yet to see a series with more memorable quotes.
I must rewatch this, I feel I was too young to get most of the more subtle humour when I first watched it.
Absolutely. The scenes where Sir Humphrey explains British Newspapers to the minister or talks with Frank Weisel about conscription were absolutely gold! Or "The Prime Minister giveth, and the Prime Minster taketh away." ;-)
